Chapter 40: The School
Bai Mingxuan poured the water and took the basin, but did not go in immediately, and watched Bai Mingcheng approach in the same place, before he stepped forward and shouted: "Brother, why did you come back so early today?" It's not evening yet. ”
He glanced at Bai Mingxuan, didn't speak, and walked straight into the house with the baggage containing the notebook and pen and ink.
Bai Mingxuan was already familiar with his character, and he was not in a hurry, so he walked in and put down the wooden basin in his hand in the courtyard.
Turning his head, Bai Mingcheng was sitting at the table pouring tea and drinking, and the burden was placed on the side of the table.
The Bai family, like everyone else in Peach Blossom Village, usually drinks well water directly, and when they come back tired from a day's work, they scoop a scoop of water in the water tank and drink it in a big gulp, which quenches their thirst. Even in winter, drink well water, unless you are sick, no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
This is not only convenient, but also saves resources, after all, boiling water also requires a lot of firewood, and it is time-consuming.
But under the influence of Bai Mingxuan, the Bai family also began to boil water to drink, Bai Mingxuan used Dr. Wang as an excuse, claiming that drinking raw water is easy to get sick, and compared with the firewood used to boil water, the benefits of getting sick outweigh the losses. Subtly, the Bai family also began to boil water to drink.
However, Bai Lao Niang always felt that boiling water was a waste, since it was already so troublesome, there was no reason to make tea with Bai Shui, so now the Bai family always prepares tea, of course, it is the cheapest wild tea leaves or tea leaves, and even flower tea made from wild flowers picked by Bai Mingxuan.
No matter what other people think, Bai Mingxuan and they are all strongly in favor.
"Brother." When Bai Mingwei saw her brother coming back, she shouted in surprise, blinked her big eyes, looked at him curiously, and wanted to ask, thinking of his fierce attitude in the past, she was a little afraid, and finally didn't say anything, just stared at him.
"Brother, why did you come back so early today? Is there a holiday in the school? Bai Mingxuan didn't have so many scruples, in her opinion, Bai Mingcheng was just an awkward little boy who was almost crooked, and asked directly.
"Nothing." Bai Mingcheng swallowed a sip of tea, the tea went down his throat, eliminating the roughness and heat of his throat, and he felt that although the tea was a little simpler, it was still better than well water.
Thinking that it was Bai Mingxuan who advocated drinking tea at home, so that he could get rid of the vulgar act of directly scooping well water with a scoop, his face couldn't help but ease a lot, and thinking of Bai Mingxuan's amazing learning ability, he didn't dare to despise it.
"Ahem," he pretended to clear his throat before he spoke, "Today, the master of our school has something to do at home, and he is in a hurry to go back, so he asked us to go home first." ”
"Something? What is it, brother, do you know? Bai Mingxuan was curious.
Bai Mingcheng frowned, a little displeased, "How do I know this, how can we know about the master's affairs?" ”
Well, Bai Mingxuan was speechless, for students, even if they can't know their master very well, they must have a basic impression.
But Bai Mingcheng is the kind of person who doesn't care about the affairs of the master's family, as if he was born with a lack of tendon in this regard.
Since I came back so early today, I would otherwise take advantage of it.
"Brother, since you came back so early today, why don't you teach me to read and write earlier?" Bai Mingxuan was full of interest and beckoned to Bai Ming, "Weiwei, you can also learn with your brother." ”
"No, no, my sister just now Xiaohua asked me to go out and play with her, I'll go first." When Bai Mingwei heard that she was going to learn to read and write with this cold-faced brother, she was frightened and immediately ran outside.
